Re: Ae Ae Contest!
The day has come. I picked 3 yellow Ae Ae fruit this evening. One is soft but the others will not be ready until tomorrow. The day we were all looking for is June 7 07. I added two pictures of the fruit on my site: http://togofcoralgables.com/AeAebananas.aspx
My DSL was high jacked today. Two days ago my wife went to ATT to get a cell phone. The sales people ask if she wanted to bundle some things with the cell phone. She said no and the we were happy with our DSL. This morning I had no Internet connection. I called Snappy and in two minutes I had a teck checking it out. ATT was trying to high jack my connection. My wife went back to the ATT shop and burned there back sides, she's a pro. Snappy had me up and working by 3 pm. It was a scam. Be warned. |

Re: Ae Ae Contest!
So close...and yet so far. Oh well. Congrats to modenacart! Thanks for the opportunity, Jordon. Very generous of you to donate some rare plants.
I must say I'm rather pleased with my guess, seeing as I've never fruited an AeAe, and was taking a wild stab at it! Almost five months, with some cool months in there though. Bet it would have been a lot sooner if it had flowered in May, eh? |

Re: Ae Ae Contest!
My wife and I are now getting the secondary prizes - all that fruit. We just finished dinner and on our plate was fried Ae Ae. My wife used a ripe but still firm Ae Ae and sliced it like you would for a fruit cocktail. Then fried it in butter.
Bigdog I was surprised that it took so long to mature. I watered the plants, but that's not like rain. We had a very moderate winter with a very cool spring. I have never counted the days but it sure seemed longer then usual. Modenacart, email me and I will see about sending the orchid to you. The plant is Bc. Mount Hood 'Mary' AM/AOS - google it and see some pictures. Tomorrow I will post a picture of the potted pup that was waiting for a local to winner. |

Re: Ae Ae Contest!
I am now going to post the potted pup. Notice the percentage of green. This is not a green form, but just a overdose of potassium nitrate. It's on the bottom of the page.
http://togofcoralgables.com/AeAebananas.aspx 'My Ae Ae Keepers' will get the pup and Modenacart will get the orchid. This is the same plant. The red spot just occurs now and then. http://bp3.blogger.com/_UwGkeJ84ueM/...h/122073wp.jpg with to red spot http://bp2.blogger.com/_UwGkeJ84ueM/.../1127061wp.jpg pure white |

Re: Ae Ae Contest!
Mitchel I am just now writing 'My Ae Ae Keepers'. It is all about getting the Ae Ae in circulation with out a lot of money. I told the people that were at the tasting last Sunday a little bit about it. The first written material will be on my site.
